GameGuard: Parent's Gaming Compass

Cookie Policy

GameGuard: Parent's Gaming Compass ("we," "us," "our," or "GameGuard") is committed to transparency about how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings. Cookies are widely used to improve user experience and website functionality.

Cookies We Use

GameGuard uses cookies in a limited and purposeful way to support your experience on our diagnostic gaming hub.

Essential Cookies

We use a single essential cookie to remember your choice regarding our cookie banner. When you first visit GameGuard, you see a notice about our use of cookies. Your decision to accept or decline is stored locally in your browser using browser storage (localStorage). This allows us to respect your preference on future visits without showing the banner repeatedly. This cookie is necessary for the website to function properly and to honor your privacy choices.

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

GameGuard may use basic, anonymized analytics to understand how visitors navigate our site—for example, which pages are most helpful to parents seeking gaming safety guidance. This information helps us improve the clarity and usefulness of our diagnostic tools and game recommendations. Analytics data is collected only if you have consented to non-essential cookies and is never used to identify you personally or to track you across other websites.

Advertising and Tracking Cookies

GameGuard does not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, payment cookies, or gambling-related cookies. We do not sell your data to advertisers or other third parties.

How We Use Cookies

Third-Party Cookies

GameGuard does not intentionally set third-party cookies. However, if you click external links to partner sites, game publishers, or other resources, those sites may set their own cookies according to their policies. We are not responsible for third-party cookie practices. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any external sites you visit.

Your Choices and Control

You have full control over cookies on your device.

Changing Your Cookie Preference

You can change your cookie preference at any time by interacting with the cookie banner on our website. If you wish to withdraw consent for analytics or other optional cookies, simply decline them in the banner, and we will not set those cookies on your device.

Clearing Browser Storage

You can delete cookies and browser storage at any time through your browser settings:

Clearing cookies will remove your stored preference for our cookie banner, so you may see the banner again on your next visit.

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when a cookie is being set. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on managing cookies at the browser level. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of GameGuard and other websites.

Data Retention

Your cookie preference is stored in your browser's local storage. It remains on your device until you manually clear your browser data or delete the cookie. Analytics data, if collected, is retained in anonymized form and is automatically deleted after a period determined by our analytics provider (typically 13–26 months).

International Considerations

GameGuard is based in Manchester, England, United Kingdom. Our use of cookies complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are visiting from outside the United Kingdom, your data may be transferred to the UK for processing. By using GameGuard, you consent to such transfers.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

GameGuard may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the effective date. Your continued use of GameGuard following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
